I bought a Kaiser a while back for my gf. I have the touch pro (raphael) with energy rom 3.0. Im looking for something just as stable as that rom for her kaiser. I understand the rule of "flash a ton of roms a try them urself" but this case its a bit different. I dont want to flash a bug ridden ROM (trust me I have done that) and then have her complain for a week until I get the free time to flash another rom (and see her ofcourse). Im looking for a ROM that wont crap out on her, preferably 6.5 with manila 2d and titanium. Thats pretty much all her requirements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I have searched and install 3 ROMS with the hotfixes but still have anoying bugs that come out after time.
I wanna find a stable WM 6.5 for my kaiser. btw, how much do u buy ur Kaiser? Is it operator-locked? Thx
unlocked, new on ebay for 160~180 dollars or so, it was about 3 months ago
I think Abusalza's WM6.1 ROM series is worth to try, for example the PDACorner Ultimate X V9
If it must be WM6.5 then may Ultimate X2 v10 will suit her needs.
TPC's ROMs seem a bit faster than Abu's, but I like applications in Abu's ROMs
If you don't mind her not having a lot of the features that make cooked roms better (different dialers, htc customizations, skins, tweaks, etc) then find one of the latest wm 6.5 builds in a light/ultralight rom. install whatever few apps you/she need, and you're done.
In my experience the more complicated the rom, the more likely to find bugs.
you might want to try shifus or gullums mega rom thos are stable enof, atleast for me
You guys are awesome. Thank you. I will first try Ultimate X2 v10, if that screws up im gonna try the naked or ultra light 6.5. Thanks a million.
Just remember you're flashing WM6.5 which isn't official yet that has been ported to a device it was never indended for.
Bugs are going to happen.

Hi,
I have a G4 Wizard (T-Mobile Mda Vario to be exact). It'll be my first flashing. So I've done a good deal of reading and searching the net.
And here comes the big decision - which ROM to choose. I want an English language WM 6.0 or 6.1 ROM for G4. That still isn't a big problem since there are many of them.
But I'd like to ask you guys what's the cleanest (emptiest) ROM? (WM6.0/1 for G4)
What I mean by that is I don't want too many applications coming with it - I want to install what I need on my own.
Of course I want it to have the basic applications that normally come with WM (when you're buying a WM6 device) such as phone, camera, office and all that.
I've found that there had been a topic about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298969&highlight=cleanest+rom), but that one is more than a year old and I guess new ROMs have come out.
Thanks in advance,
Alex(ander)

Try this.The lite version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388229
Or this.The Vanilla Edition
I use the HTC business edition ROM. It's WWE, smal and very stable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376667
thank you very much
I tried the SNN Edition Version 3.0 LITE but it didn't work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2172475).
Before I used the Mun RUU fraham replied and I tried HTC business edition ROM which seemed better for me (I've read all 12 pages about SNN and all 13 about HTC Business Edition).
Works great
I say, cook your own. that's the cleanest you will ever get
First of all let me start by apologizing for the type of help im about to ask
For the record I was a total noob on this regard but i searched and read quite a bit and I now feel more than comfortable to take the plunge and flash up a new rom on my QTEK 9100 after a one year rest due to a broken miniUSB plug i recently decided to fix with superglue
however im stuck on one aspect that I just cant decide.. I want WM6 or WM6.1 that is stable, snappier than my current WM5 and most of all TouchFlo with a cube just like my sister's HTC Touch Duo. That is basically what i need as my main use for the phone is SMS and general phonecalls and some light games or movies but i'll handle that later..
I've searched alot amidst the heaps of roms available but i can't decide on one to pick.. At first I was going for NBD 8.3 as I read alot of good stuff about it and it had all i wanted.. Then i realized though that it was quite old and started looking at some more recent releases but just couldnt pick one from all those features I have no clue about
So the question is:
Will I be fine with NBD 8.3? or should i try something else, more recent, that will perform better for my needs?
BTW I have a G4 QTEK 9100
Thanks in advance, and sorry for posting yet another one of these questions.. Even though Im aware that there is no *BEST* rom to use, I just need some advice and/or personal input as to one that will fill my needs nicely

Hello there....
i can suggest you (if you want the new/fresh ROMS)
there are 6.1 and 6.5 WM versions from CRACING and XDA2_HASSEB
both cookers are amazing.
Now im using the XDS2_HASEEB 6.5 newer version, very nice, stable, and looks fresh (colorfull) LOL
GOOD LUCK
In addition to the cooks mentioned by tigrisimo, I recommend looking at some of the stuff from S.V.I. His are some of the fastest and tightest ROMs around, if you can get past his penchant for unusual theme art.
In other news, I would suggest that you give up your quest for the cube. It's slow, massive, and dated.
Take a look at the Manila 2d today plugin for wm6, and the CHOME/Titanium for WM 6.5. They provide easy access to phone features in a similar but superior way.
Hi,
I've seen a lot of recommendations for various WinMo 6.5 ROMs and to be honest as this is my first Windows Mobile (HTC Touch Pro) I'm a complete novice and all of the different options confuse me.
What I'm basically after is if HTC announced that they were giving a free 6.5 ROM upgrade to all HTC Touch Pro owners, I want the current unofficial ROM that would most closely resemble that, if that makes sense.
So pretty much a basic Windows Mobile 6.5 build that works with the Raphael.
What would you recommend?
Da_G's clean rom for 6.5 is the closet you're going to get to stock with all Raphael features working link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605

Wonderful. Thank you that's a great help
And if I was feeling adventurous, what would you recommend?
Many thanks,

I've been running RRE's rom and LOVE it. The nice thing is that if you back up your data, flashing a new rom is an hour process to flash, reinstall everything, so, for me, it's one of those "rainy day" things I play with when the weather is bad.
here we go again with the "best rom" threads........
First post so here it goes!
I've recently bought a second hand HTC Diamond (P3700) with windows mobile 6.1 from HTC in Taiwan. They were awesome with the price and giving me loads of extras for this great phone. The phone was originally in Chinese mandarin but the nice people at HTC converted it to English.
So after a few weeks of playing with the phone and doing some online searching I've found XDA-Developers and people modding, tweaking, upgrading their phones. I thought to myself that this site is like the Holy Grail! So now I'm wanting to to upgrade my ROM but I don't want to do it at the cost of my phone not working based on my location.
So I would like to know my options. I've already seen some excellent looking ROM's but Im not sure if they will make or break my HTC Touch Diamond so any guidance would be very much appreciated.
My current Phone Stats are as follows:
ROM Version: 2.03.707.2
ROM Date: 12/26/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.23
Protocol Vesion: 52.51.25.26U
Please note the phone is Unlocked using a TaiwanMobile (TWM) Sim card. If any more information is required please let me know I would love to start flashing right away! Thanks again in advance.
Welcome to forum
As long as you follow instructions you´ll be fine upgrading your ROM
read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
Then go to Diamond section, select your desired ROM and enjoy!
Good luck,
Thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward to flashing away. I also wanted to know if there is a performance difference when flashing from a 6.1 to a 6.5? I know a lot of people doing it but is there a trade off in doing so.
As 6.5 UI is more " highly graphic" it will be a little bit slower, but nothing too much to worry
I am using it on a 2005 Universal with 64mb of RAM
So it´s ok!
Thanks for your 2 cents, I hope flashing a new ROM will save me time modding my diamond

If you take a look in the diamond rom forum you will find several guides on upgrading a rom and radio. This is probably the best place to start.
Im using a 6.5 rom on my diamond (BSB 6.5 M) at the moment and it is very good. as fast as some 6.1 roms i have used. The 6.5 builds do have some bugs and issues as they are all still beta test versions but im find my current one ok.
I was also curious to what does the radio do. Like i get updating the ROM but why is there a need to update the radio? Im assuming it has something to do with the phone and how it handles reception. My phone at the moment is running great on stock 6.1 but if i upgrade to 6.5 would i need to change my radio?
Hello!!
I'm a new user of the HTC Raphael.
I Started with it original roms (Frensh SFR) very boring ...
Now I'm trying some cooked ones:
|RAPH|ROM|6.5.5|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 'Leo' (23518/21889) ★ |Jan 18| Sense 2.5 !
[ROM][WWE][PRO|FUZE][WM6.5.3|28002][21NOV09] TAEL ROM v3.28002 • STANDARD EDITION •
Go to first new post [ROM][WWE][15 Jan 10] Exquisite 4.03a WM 6.5 (23518) for Touch Pro [GSM]
etc etc
For my opinion: I think that EnergyROM 'Leo' is tbe best, graphically not but very fast and we have all the soft that the need.
It will be very nice if members here tried to share their impressions about the different roms they are using...
Thanks
the first rom i used was NATF it came flashed on my fone, i changed 2 energyrom i did like it but after a while it was getting laggy for me i also tried tpc joshkoss 1 of my favorites but in my opinion i like ChromeRommas the most its fast great graphics and has all the good apps.
Thanks for reply...i get bored with rom using touch flo3D they are very slow
Ah... french Sfr, a real **** (i know what about i'm speaking... "c'est à ce moment qu'on se dit que finalement on n'aurait pas du prendre l'offre opérateur ").
I think lots of WM 6.5 Roms are useful, lots of utilities inside... but slow, not smooth. I had to hard reset once a week (Messaging is very bad !).
The fastest ROM is a WM 6.1 ROM with Touch Flo, and no Manila. Since i've tried Manila, i've some problems (no really problems, but i hate lag on my phone).
The next ROM i'll try is WM 6.1 TF3D (RomeOS or GEN.Y for example).
I have used around 4 different ROMs since getting my HTC Fuze almost a year ago. I personally have just recently began using EnergyROM Phoenix 2 WM 6.5 build 21889 after hearing so much about it. I must say I am very impressed. I switched to it from TPC in an attempt to fix a bluetooth issue (which it turns out was not even related to the TPC ROM).
So far I really like EnergyROM. It makes the phone feel like a device that is a pleasure to use. However, I also found that when I was using TPC V3 I had the same experience. Before using these two ROMs it always felt like I was wrestling with the phone whenever I wanted to do something with it.
I personally am now partial to EnergyROM due to the aestetics. On both ROMs however the internet browsing is very fast and most pages render really well. I also seem to get much better overall network speeds on these two, but this could very well be related to a radio upgrade I did along with them. I seem to get very good battery life with both ROMs. GPS also seems to easily work great on both. I actually prefer the dialer used on Energy as it seems to integrate very well on the phone, but TPCs also works good. Application wise both of them come with tons of essentials. I found that TPC seemed to have more integrated, but most of them I do not utilize. One big plus I found on the applications is that Energy has a working "HTC Wifi Router". This did not previously work on my phone before.
Forgot to include one of my favorite parts of the current Energy ROM I am using. This ROM is using Sense 2.1. This is an absolute joy to use! It very closely resembles what TF3D is, but works 200% better! I experience very little lag and all of the integrated features I have tried work as they should. Not to mention that it just looks amazing. This is what TF3D should have been! I almost feel sorry for people who still use the stock ATT ROM and TF3D and have not been able to experience either a custom ROM and/or Sense, as it makes the device a whole new experience!
Wish I could give a better review of both ROMs, but I have only used both for a week so far!
